This weekend, Landmark Cinemas Grand 10 and Xtreme will be showing the travel documentary Puerto Rico: Treasure Island as part of the Passport to the World film series. While the timing may not be perfect in light of the destruction left by Hurricane Maria, the series was scheduled long before and is a chance to see the island as it was prior to the tragedy, but more importantly is an opportunity to help with efforts to rebuild it. $4 from every ticket will be donated to the Red Cross for the victims of that natural disaster and help the recovery of the island. It shows Saturday and Sunday at 1 p.m.
When Blade Runner was released in 1982, it was much less than a blockbuster, but in the years since, it has become much more than a cult classic. Blade Runner 2049 is set 30 years after the original and a new blade runner (Ryan Gosling) discovers a secret that has the potential to plunge what香蕉视频直播檚 left of society into chaos. To prevent this, he must find former LAPD blade runner Rick Deckard (Harrison Ford) who has been missing for 30 years. While original director Ridley Scott does not return for the sequel, he does serve as executive producer with Canadian director Denis Villeneuve (Arrival) at the helm. Robin Wright (Wonder Woman), Jared Leto (Suicide Squad) and Dave Bautista (Guardians of the Galaxy) round out the cast.
